Chocolate Bliss Truffles

Is there a right or wrong way to taste chocolate? Not sure but be sure to slow down, eat it mindfully as chocolate makes people happy.

As you take a bite of this truffle and move the chocolate slowly in your mouth savoring the feeling you will begin to taste the flavor beyond the first bitter cocoa taste. I love a nice organic pinot noir with these truffles; it’s a “Zen” moment for me.
